PCI and EMV compliance

Our hardware and software are compliant with PCI Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) and EMV regulations. We take on the burden of staying compliant, which means you don’t have to worry about assessment fees or potential expensive data breach fines.

End-to-end encryption

From the time the customer taps, dips, or swipes a credit card, the data is encrypted until it reaches Square’s processing environment. Customer data never touches the seller’s servers. And it’s all preconfigured, with no additional steps necessary.

Every payment type

Process all major credit and debit cards and accept mobile-wallet NFC payments out of the box. This includes Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay.

Dispute management

We have a dedicated disputes team to deal with the bank for you. We’ll ask for the documentation we need and take care of the rest with no additional fees.

Fast deposits

Get your money faster with Square’s deposits as soon as the next business day. We also offer instant or scheduled same-day deposits for an additional small fee.

Fraud detection

We use machine learning to analyze every payment in our ecosystem. It enables us to prevent fraud on sellers’ behalf, regardless of the payment volume they are processing.

Understand your customers, sales, inventory, and more.
